I know your struggle. I haven't actually slept in years. An hour here an hour there then I give up about 2-3:00 in the morning and my day begins.

autonomous sensory meridian response
ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response; a term used to describe a tingling, static-like, or goosebumps sensation in response to specific triggering audio or visual stimuli.

Pasted that from Google. There are all types of good asmr videos on YouTube. They put me right to sleep

I use Ambien & when that prescription runs out, I use over the counter sleeping pills or Melatonin & Sleepy Time tea & bedtime teas. I’ve had insomnia since I was in the 1st grade of elementary school!!! :roll_eyes:. I also wear an eye mask & ear plugs. Takes some time to get used to but they are effective
